Frost in Your Attic? What you should know.

With the cold spell this January here in southern Indiana some homeowners may be seeing frost inside their attic. The best way to prevent frost from accumulating in an attic is to seal off attic air leaks. Small air leaks may not seem to be important, these can add up to a lot of frost accumulation in the attic. It's important to seal all attic air leaks; not just the big ones. Once every little air leak has been perfectly sealed, the attic will be frost free. The only problem with doing all of this air sealing is that the air leaks are located underneath the attic insulation, and it can be very difficult to find every air leak without completely removing the attic insulation. For this reason, it's nice to start with the easier stuff first.
